Power and Energy Engineering

Recent concerns regarding multiple perspectives in energy efficiency fostering caused renewed attention on regulatory frameworks and behaviour change models. The growing awareness on the positive effects of identifying behavioural triggers of different market participant roles within the energy plethora provides comprehensive information for policy makers. A literature review in existing policy design framework and behavioural change models is outlaid in this paper. Acknowledging the clear prevalence of various challenges which constraint the success of adopting market instruments and regulatory schemes to accelerate positive energy behaviours. This study recommends the implementation of Five W’s World Model (FWWM) towards energy policy design. Five W’s World Model (FWWM) framework provide a different perspective for regulators, public policy designers, and energy service providers in forming holistic practices to circumvent barriers in achieving the targeted goals in the energy efficiency context.
